The Inatu long ago built elaborate buildings where they meet to reproduce. Besides this rare occasion, they stay apart from others of their race, preferring to roam the great sea in solitude. In truth, they do not enjoy being in close proximity to one another, most likely due to the vast intelligence that each possesses. Most Inatu do not build personal homes.

Human

Age:

25 Teloric years

Occupation:

Trader; His duty on the ship is pilot and engineer.

Simon is a pure human, a Pagan. His parents are faithful Avatars and strongly disapprove of the path Simon has taken. For his part, Simon remains disgusted with his parents and all Avatars.

Racial Information:

A few hundred years ago, humans destroyed Earth, their home planet. Now, as a whole, humans are considered foolhardy and ignorant. They are often berated and treated as such by other races. For the most part, humans are now officially divided into two distinct groups: Avatars and Pagans, those who oppose them. Avatars are pure humans; that is, they have not been tainted by genetically mixing with other races. Avatars uphold that they are the true form of the human species, the ultimate creation of their god. Avatars are zealous to say the least about upholding their beliefs. They aggressively persecute any and all peoples they come across who are of mixed human blood. They believe these people are heretics who have forsaken god and true humanity. Avatars are religious zealots, pompous, arrogant, and egotistical to the highest degree. Avatars especially hate the pure humans who have turned from their beliefs. They call these individuals Pagans. Avatars have also begun to spread their persecution to all races and persons that they consider to be impure, whether they have human blood somewhere in their bloodline or not. These the Avatars call the Fallen. After many years of bloody fighting, the Pagans and the Fallen have turned to the path of least resistance: they have sought out sanctuary beyond the reaches of the Avatars. Now, they seek mainly to avoid contact with the Avatars, just as the Avatars seek to avoid contact with alien species (while simultaneously struggling to persecute them). Coupled with internal conflict in Avatar society (spurred by secret agents of some Pagan revolutionaries), this has essentially granted the Pagans and the Fallen the peace they have desired for so long. They carry out their lives away from all Avatar realms, while the Avatars strive desperately to maintain order within their borders.
